  • Georgia 2017 Human Rights Report
    GEORGIA 2017 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The constitution provides for an executive branch that reports to the prime minister, a unicameral parliament, and a separate judiciary. The government is accountable to parliament. The president is the head of state and commander in chief. In September, a controversial constitutional amendments package that abolished direct election of the president and delayed a move to a fully proportional parliamentary election system until 2024 became law. Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) observers termed the October local elections as generally respecting fundamental freedoms and reported candidates were able to campaign freely, while highlighting flaws in the election grievance process between the first and second rounds that undermined the right to effective remedy. They noted, too, that the entire context of the elections was shaped by the dominance of the ruling party and that there were cases of pressure on voters and candidates as well as a few violent incidents. OSCE observers termed the October 2016 parliamentary elections competitive and administered in a manner that respected the rights of candidates and voters but stated that the campaign atmosphere was affected by allegations of unlawful campaigning and incidents of violence. According to the observers, election commissions and courts often did not respect the principle of transparency and the right to effective redress between the first and second rounds, which weakened confidence in the election administration. In the 2013 presidential election, OSCE observers concluded the vote “was efficiently administered, transparent and took place in an amicable and constructive environment” but noted several problems, including allegations of political pressure at the local level, inconsistent application of the election code, and limited oversight of alleged campaign finance violations.

  • A Short Report on the Advisory Service for the Local Self-Government of Imereti and Guria Conducted by the Fund “Sukhumi” In
    A short report on the Advisory Service for the local self-government of Imereti and Guria conducted by the Fund “Sukhumi” in frames of the project "Experience of the Visegrad countries to advocate the equal, inclusive and democratic governance" From February to July 2018, the consultative group of the Fund "Sukhumi", consisting of 5 staff members, worked with 15 municipalities (12 municipalities of Imereti 3 municipalities of Guria) on the issues of gender policy of self-government, organization of work of local gender equality councils. The "Guide" of the Fund "Sukhumi" - "Introduction of Gender Mainstreaming in Local Authorities" was actively used in the work. A short review of the current situation: local governments gradually master the essence of gender policy and issues related to them. This is facilitated by the instructions of higher authorities, especially the Ministry of Regional Management and Infrastructure, on the recommendation of which, since January 2018, all the municipalities of Imereti and Guria have created gender equality councils, approved the provision of the councils (the remaining municipality – Sakrebulo of Vani, plans to approve the provision of the Gender Council within the next few days). Part of the Municipalities of Imereti and Guria, with the help of partner NGOs, began to work on local action plans for gender equality. In spite of the fact that the instructions indicated that this is not a plan of gender council, but of a municipality, several municipalities developed and approved an action plan of Gender Council (Kutaisi, Tskaltubo). At this stage development of an action plan for Gender Equality of the municipality is carried out.

    MUNICIPAL WATER AND WASTEWATER SECTOR IN GEORGIA Status Report By David Melua 2015 Municipal Water and Wastewater Sector in Georgia, status Report Table of Content Current situation page 3 Institutional Setting page 6 Legal framework page 16 Key findings and conclusions page 21 Abbreviations GWP – Georgian Water and Power GEL – Georgian Lari GUWSC – Georgian United Water Supply Company USAID – US agency for international Development EIB – European Investment Bank ADB – Asian Development Bank A.R. - Autonomous Republic KfW - Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau MDF – Municipal Development Fund WED – Water Framework Directive AA – association Agreement 2 Municipal Water and Wastewater Sector in Georgia, status Report 1. Current Situation About 95% of the urban and 35% of the rural population is supplied by centralised water service. This indicates high network coverage by international standards. The actual performance of this system is a problem, however. Poor quality of the distribution network results in a water loss rate of 10-51%, and 40% water loss in Tbilisi. All urban households suffer interrupted supply, receiving water much less than 24 hours a day, in some cities as little as 8-10 hours a day. In rural areas the supply system often does not function at all. This affects mainly people living on higher floors of buildings, because of low pressure in the sys- tem. The major reason for that is the shortage of electricity supply due to a lack of payment and also physical shortages. The majority of the connected urban households can have potentially good water quality, as the main source is groundwater. Groundwater sources provide about 90% of the water supply apart from Tbilisi.

  • GEORGIA Second Edition March 2010
    WHO DOES WHAT WHERE IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION IN GEORGIA Second edition March 2010 Georgian National Committee of Disaster Risk Reduction & Environment Sustainable Development FOREWORD Georgia is a highly disaster-prone country, which frequently experiences natural hazards (e.g. earthquakes, floods, landslides, mudflows, avalanches, and drought) as well as man-made emergencies (e.g. industrial accidents and traffic accidents). Compounding factors such as demographic change, unplanned urbanization, poorly maintained infrastructure, lax enforcement of safety standards, socio-economic inequities, epidemics, environmental degradation and climate variability amplify the frequency and intensity of disasters and call for a proactive and multi-hazard approach. Disaster risk reduction is a cross-cutting and complex development issue. It requires political and legal commitment, public understanding, scientific knowledge, careful development planning, responsible enforcement of policies and legislation, people-centred early warning systems, and effective disaster preparedness and response mechanisms. Close collaboration of policy-makers, scientists, urban planners, engineers, architects, development workers and civil society representatives is a precondition for adopting a comprehensive approach and inventing adequate solutions. Multi-stakeholder and inter-agency platforms can help provide and mobilize knowledge, skills and resources required for mainstreaming disaster risk reduction into development policies, for coordination of planning and programmes,
